NAME

6       Authen::Credential::x509 - abstraction of an X.509 credential
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This helper module for Authen::Credential implements an X.509
10       credential, see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509>.
11
12       It supports the following attributes:
13
14       cert
15           the path of the file holding the certificate
16
17       key the path of the file holding the private key
18
19       pass
20           the pass-phrase protecting the private key (optional)
21
22       ca  the path of the directory containing trusted certificates
23           (optional)
24
25       ca_file
26           the path of the file that contains the trusted certificate
27           (optional)
28
29       It supports the following targets for the prepare() method:
30
31       IO::Socket::SSL
32           it returns a reference to a hash containing the suitable options
33           for IO::Socket::SSL
34

EXAMPLE

36         use Authen::Credential;
37         use IO::Socket::SSL;
38
39         # get the credential from somewhere
40         $cred = Authen::Credential->parse(...);
41
42         # use the prepare() method to get ready-to-use data
43         $sslopts = $cred->prepare("IO::Socket::SSL");
44         $socket = IO::Socket::SSL->new(
45             PeerHost => "web.acme.com",
46             PeerPort => "https",
47             %{ $sslopts },
48         );
